Description:
Author Taylor Branch has referred to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a modern American founding father. In the third and final volume of his trilogy, “At Canaan’s Edge,” Branch presents King as he stands at the zenith of the civil rights movement. This highly-anticipated book follows the first two in the trilogy that have won nearly every major literary award, including the Pulitzer Prize. Branch gives a glimpse into King’s life, from the internal struggles he had with his advisers to his efforts to address poverty. Branch’s book brings us closer to the life of a man whose work has had lasting effects not only in the United States, but for democracy as well.
